Keith Olbermann is an idiot

When it comes to "heroes" according to the left, Keith Olbermann is right up near the top with his half-baked analysis of politics and his "worst person" (cue scary music) segment. Despite an elitist attitude and odd love for ketchup packets, the left is quick to dismiss any negative story about him as a smear tactic, and they flock to his spoken word like moths to a flame.

But when does his hard hitting analysis of events in our world demonstrate the hack he really is?
Answer- When he bashes the Bush administration for their position on a topic, then supports Obama when he supports the same thing. When I read this story today, it made me laugh at loud. I remember some of the broadcast earlier this year and was surprised at how boldly he called the Bush administration a bunch of fascists. Yet, when the beloved beacon of the left, Barack Obama supports similar legislature, it is a bold move.

Hypocrisy, they name is Olbermann.

The race card is thrown . . . Yet again . . .

I read this story today on another site and it made me laugh. I did not know that asking people to comply with health code requirements and possibly preventing free barbecue was somehow equated with slavery.

Then, it made me wonder. Have we finally arrived at the point in our society where any attempt to ensure public safety or to enforce laws is considered racist? We cannot enforce health codes, because it is racist against African-Americans. Yet, if someone had gotten sick from the barbecue, who do you think would be sued? the city- for not enforcing the health code! We cannot ask for ID's at valid police stops because it is racist against Hispanics and illegal aliens. Yet everyone knows that the vast majority of illegal aliens are Hispanic or from Central and South America. Like it or not, that is a basic fact. And last time I checked, police asking for ID's were equal opportunistic. The don't care who you are, as long as you have ID! We cannot search people of middle eastern descent at airports or who act suspicious. Yet most terrorists of modern day are of middle eastern descent.

And when things go wrong, what ALWAYS happens? The finger pointing starts and the blames begin. The government should have done more! That illegal should have been deported! This could have been prevented! And then the vicious cycle is complete because while there are calls for more to be done, anything that is attempted is knocked down, by the politically-correct-no-one-is-responsible-for-their-actions-make-cookies-for-those-who-want-to-kill-us crowd. It just does not make sense.

Do you ever wonder why you almost never hear a white person complain when they are called "crackers" or a host of other derogatory slangs, or when they accused of racism? Or how they learn to live with reverse racism, like affirmative action. Do you ever wonder why pretty much anything these days is considered racist? Why is it that rap music or derogatory comments by blacks to other African-Americans is somehow acceptable? Or how about when people like Bill Cosby tell the truth about all of the issues pertaining to the black society he is a sell out, yet when Obama preaches the same on Sunday, he is deemed as correct? Better yet, imagine what would have happened if a white politician gave the exact same speech!

I'll tell you why. Because its not a big deal. My parents raised me to not give a rip about what others thought, did, and said. Instead, I was told to worry about my own damn self. And guess what? I came out ok. I ignored the comments about my race, about my gender, my size, my religious preference, my lifestyle. And I ended up ok. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned in that. Too bad all of the sheeple out there who allow nonsense prevail will never learn it.

The battle over who is "minority" enough

I started this post awhile back before my personal life derailed for a few days and I had to get back on track. So here it is now.

A little over a week ago, I was walking to the recycle bin to drop off some documents for shredding. I have to walk across the whole office to do so, and when I do this weekly chore, I enjoy listening to the conversations of the other unit employees. I passed the desk of this rather obnoxious, loud woman. I can always hear her from my section, down a few sections. Anyway, she was just on Cloud 9 that Obama had sealed up the nomination and was telling everyone she was voting for him. Her primary reason, because a minority needed to be in the White House.

I casually asked what part of Obama's platform she liked the most, and as is typical with most Obama supporters, she could not mention anything he stood for or accomplishments he has under his belt. She was stuck on the minority thing. I then asked if it mattered if there was a "minority" as President or as Vice President, to which she replied it did not really matter, but there was only one person of minority status in the running.

I then asked what would she think if Piyush "Bobby" Jindal ran as McCain's VP selection. She did not know who that was and I said he was a minority, specifically, he was an Indian-American. She then said that was a "racist term, they are Native Americans". I heartily laughed at that and said he was Indian, as sometimes called Asian-Indian, or from the country of India.

She then said that she would still vote for Obama. I asked why, since the "minority" issue seemed to be her only requirement. Her response- because Obama is "more of a minority". I wanted to ask her what that meant, but then again, you cannot reason with most fools.

Oh the hypocrisy!

I don't know how long this link will be up on www.Huffingtonpost.com, but this topic always makes me laugh.

Before the election season kicks off, one of the big whines that comes from the left is a call for "public financing" and to change and make more public financing laws more restrictive. Then Obama gets a lot of small donations from a lot of people, raises a ton of money, completely de-railing all of the arguments, and all of the sudden, McCain is the target because he may use public financing, for whatever the reason.

Next we will hear campaign reform regarding contributions directly to the DNC and the RNC. Why? Because the RNC is still outperforming the DNC by multiples. Until, of course, the DNC gets their act together.

Religion IS allowed in public schools, but no Christianity!

I read this story today and have a few questions for the school and for the reading populus.

What do you think would have happened had it been a christian person addressing the "christian lifestyle"?

Where is the ACLU?

If information on the religion of Islam is available in any book in the library, do they allow books from a christian perspective, or even a bible?
